As others have said, the watches are not the same, and will be valued differently by collectors. Besides that, an auction valuation is nothing more than an estimate. It may sell for less, or much more. Have you asked the auction house how they came to their valuation? I think that would be the best ...

The 556 wouldn't be a terrible choice for a 1 watch collection. I've always admired the 556, although my personal preference is for the Arabic dial. The 5561 however, would probably be a better all-rounder.

I like the idea, but I agree that the blue needs to be a closer match to the dial. As for the stitching and keepers, I'd consider going a little darker, closer the the colour that you will see as the bronze patinas. *Edit* I'm thinking something closer to this brown leather that I have mine on curre...

My opinion is that the leather makes it a little bit less "casual". I might either buy a watchgecko Horween or maybe one from LongIslandWatch, or even Martù. I will also try to make one as I have a piece of brown pull-up leather that has this vintage look. Agreed. A nice pull-up leather like Chrome...

The crown and case finishing look poor at best. Hmmm, theres a clear difference between inspiration and outright copy/fake. As they arent using the brands logo/name/trademarks apparently its a 'homage'. As someone who's invested 3 years capital and resources in developing a software product only to ...

+1 for the Glycine Airman 18. I have one and it fits my 160mm wrists comfortably.

Since the vast majority of our forum members are Brtish or American, most of you should appreciate this one.

Hi Lavain, Nice purchase this C60 Bronze! Was wondering what kind of strap would you pu on It, as I am myself looking for a leather one as an alternative to the hybrid. Thank you! Hi Ondris, I'm not a fan of leather on dive watches, but for the bronze I would look at a light to medium brown leather...

I don't own one, and personally only two good use cases for having one. 1. You only wear 2-3 watches in a daily rotation. In this case having one might make sense rather than winding and setting each of your watches multiple times per week. 2. You own a very complicated watch, such as a perpetual ca...

My January sale purchases arrived yesterday. I'm honestly quite impressed. I'd heard a lot of talk about the new packaging, but I was still very impressed with it. From the new distinctive watch box (huge wow factor for the first time buyer), to the really slick, fully recyclable origami cardboard s...

June 2020 sees the 15th anniversary of the launch of the original C5 and C3 watches. I have no insider knowledge of any plans, but it wouldn't surprise me to see this commemorated in some way. That makes sense AVO. As the current range already includes a C3 and C5, perhaps the introduction of a C5A...

I think you went too far with the focred patination, but it doesn't matter for 2 reasons:
1. It's your watch. If you like it, that's what matters (spousal opinion not withstanding).
2. It's bronze. If you change your mind, you can return it to it's original condition with relative ease.

Very neat book. To have a record of virtually every Speedmaster released is pretty amazing. I know it's called Moonwatch Only, but does it include the CoAxial and Reduced models as well as the Speedmaster Professional "Moonwatch" models?

I love wine and my name is after my favourite white varietal. IMO and candidly, Viognier is the most underrated white grape varietal in the marketplace! It is a very good varietal, and Canada (particularly BC) produces some excellent ones. Recently had a nice California Viognier from Sonoma, but I'...

I bought it from Booksetc at £102

That's a good bit better than the almost $400 at Amazon!

If it covers most of the Moonwatch variants, it must be a fairly long book

Does the book include yearly updates with all the LE's?
